Hello April

Ok So I forgot to add a few other things that was happening this month:

April fools day was 1st. I didnt pull any pranks off this year but my father in law, got my mother in law really good. He got up early and disconnected her battery to her truck so when she left for the day it wouldnt start. Well it worked, she went to leave and it wouldnt start. She went running in the house saying David my truck wont start and he said yeah right Im not falling for that April Fools joke and she said no seriously it wont start. He said whatever quit playing around she said ok Ill go and try it again one more time. She went back and she said I cant get it to start. Wait a minute she said you disconnected my battery didnt you and he said April Fools.

I got some Bad News!

So I got a letter in the mail from my fertility Doctor that I just switched to. He decided he wants to retire and now I have to find a new doctor again. Things were just looking good for me and this doctor had everything planned out. Oh well Im exctied about this new doctor that I have a consult with June 3rd. He does everything right there in his office so no needing to go other places for the IVF or having to find another doctor once I conceive. I will continue with the Doctor I have right now until June 3rd. I believe we are still going to go through with the surgery and Artifical insemenation. I will keep you posted.

April 18, 2008

So this past Sunday it was Doug and I's 2nd anniversary. We started celebrating it on Sat and it still hasnt ended, we decided we would continue it all the way untill our second anniversary is here (you know the one where we went to Las Vegas and renewed our vows). But Sat Doug got up early because of the dog of course, after letting the dog in he sat in his chair and tried to go back to sleep but could not, not that he ever can so he went outside where it was nice out and washed and waxed both trucks. They both looked so good and mine really needed it, I had not washed it since we had all that snow and it was filthy. While he was finishing up I jumped in the shower. After I was done getting all beautified up we went to lunch at Texas Roadhouse, my favorite place and the best steak you will ever have. After we was done Doug was taking me to get my anniversary present. I told him I wanted new earings since I lost one of mine he got me a few years ago for Christmas. We searched around and found nothing, but then out of the blue it crossed my mind I need a new cell phone really bad so I mentioned to Doug lets not get me earings again how about me a new cell phone? He said that was fine I was due it had been at least 2 years. I loved my old phone so much, but it was so scratched up so I was due. We went to the sprint store and got awesome help right away. She asked me what I was looking for and I told her what I had before. She ended up showing me a phone like my old one but now it has Android on it where I can add any application to it I want to, so its like the apple iphones, I love it. After leaving there we decided to go come and relax a bit cause we decided we was going to go bowl scotch doubles. So off to home we went. I watch tv and played with the new phone of course and Doug played poker on the computer. The next thing we knew it was 10:30 and time to go so we wasnt late. we got there bowled excellent and qualified for the tourney next weekend. But Doug and I just found out we cant bowl it, because that is the weekend we are in the ozarks for Dougs tournament there. Oh well more fun and money in the ozarks. After bowling we went home and went to bed, woke up Sunday and we was going to go to lunch since it was our anniversary day, but we ended up staying home bored out of our minds trying to figure out what to do. We ended up over at his sisters house across the street cooking steak and veggies on the grill. Boy was it a good meal. After we was done with that we went home and played mario party 8 on the wii till 9 and then watch Celebrity Apprentice. Then to bed to work the next day. While at work I was still trying to think of what I could get Doug for an anniversary present cause as you know we didnt get him anything. Well I finally thought of something, he wanted a new camera since I had been using the one he did have all the time. After work we went to walmart to look at the cameras. He couldnt find anything he liked but I fell in love with one that was super skinny and would fit in my pants pocket. He said you but that one and give me mine back. Score another new presnet for me, but back to square one no presnet for Doug from me for our anniversary. And guess what he didnt get anything cause we dont know what to get him cause the boy has everything he wants or needs. Makes me feel bad but he dosent care. Ok so now yesterday Doug brings up about having a bbq party Sunday after his bow hunt at the house. I said that was fine with me. I told him I would go with him Sun then we can come home and bbq. He said to me lets get you a bow and get you shooting so you can shoot with us and not just walk around wth us and keep score. I said ok so yesterday we went to Town Hall archery and bought me a new bow. I love it and shot really good with it right away Doug was super excited and surprised as how good I really was with it. So now this Sunday Im not keeping score anymore, I am going to hang with the big boys shooting at the targets. Ok so now let me recap: Sat I got a new phone, Sun a new camera and Mon a new bow. Can you say that Doug spoiled me this Anniversary? I think so! Now I just cant wait for our 5th anniversary. Doug said he is taking my wedding ring and adding custom made bands to both sides of the ring.

Hello April

I know I am a week late starting this month, but every month at the begining of the month I am going to write about what is going on for that month. So Here we go with April.............

Spring Time is here, and you know its here when the birds are chirping and the bees & bugs are starting to come out.

Also this month is

Easter is this month, well it already happen this month. Since I am late posting it was this past Sunday, and boy was it a nice day for Easter this year. Every year it seems to rain, but it was nice and the kids got to enjoy their egg hunts.

Garage selling has started, which excites me because I love to garage sale. Doug always calls it Junk sale but I get good stuff. But this year we are going to have a big garage sale ourselves. We have so much stuff to get rid of and I will be glad to, because once I do I will have a basement again.

Its Tax season time again, Doug and I already filed all of our taxes and today we already got it all back. We decided we are going to pay a few bills off and then use some for our trip next month to Myrtle Beach to visit our good friend Scotty.

This month is a special month, its our Anniversary month we will be married 2 years on the 18th and Dougs Birthday on the 25th. Look for a post on the 25th that I am doing for Dougs Birthday. Its pretty cool!

This month also should be the month that I prepare for my surgery for my infertility issues. This surgery has been planned 2 other times now and both times something has gotten in the way of me having the surgery. The first time I had to go to Virginia/DC for a business trip then this month my Dr was going on vacation, so I should be having it this time around.

This is from and Email I got!

With time, women gain weight because we accumulate so much information and Wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room, it distributes out To the rest of our bodies. So we aren't heavy, we are enormously cultured, Educated and happy.

Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think, Good grief, look how smart I am!

Must be where the expression,

Smart Ass' came from!??

Happy Easter

Journey through Infertility

The journey from infertility to family, someone once said, is like taking a train ride; Never knowing whether you'll reach your desired destination. There are plenty of stops along the ride. And each of the passengers makes it's own decision when its time to get off. Some never need to take the train. Others ride it for a lifetime. But whether you reach your destination or not, pay attention to the journey. If you will, as painful as it is, it may reward you in unexpected ways.

Been Sad and Thinking about the Baby Situation Again.

So these past few days I have been sad and all I have been thinking about how its not fair! Why cant I have a baby too? Well I came upon some poems that really got to my heart. This is for all the ladies out there TTC.

God answers so many of my little prayers, so why not the big ones too? I just can't understand it why does He do the things he decides to do? My deepest desire lies unfulfilled I feel so hopeless inside I know I should be thankful and not so full of pride. I ask God every day for this or that, you know, little things. And when He answers so clearly my heart just really sings. But in those deep, pondering moments When I ask for the desire of my heart, I get no clear answer and then my tears start, Oh God, I want a baby to hold and kiss and love I know that You alone can give me that blessing from above. I keep waiting, waiting, waiting and my patience grows to despair. Oh why can't I have a baby? For nothing else I truly care. I know You haven't forgotten me for better things to do because You answer all my little prayers, I just wish You'd fulfill my big one too.

A mother without a child

I won't lie. I can't stop thinking about it, When I do think, I am overwhelmed. Longing for the day when the doctor says: "Congratulations! You are going to be parents" When I heard that our friends were expecting my heart jumped into my throat and I cried. Happy for them, of course, but more so, the feeling 'I wish it were us'. No. The sickness aches and pains do not dissuade me. Nor does the financial worry. I want to run my protective hands across my bump. Proudly! I want to feel our baby growing inside. I am yearning to see our child for the first time, Cold, wet and vulnerable. Our child. Made from love - A piece of you. A piece of me. A little person with our smiles and eyes. Tiny fingers grasping ours for security. Someone to love, teach and watch grow. I feel incomplete. I am; A Mother without a child.

My 300 game Bowling Ring

The other choice of rings I could have picked from

The Ring I choose

This year they started something diffrent. From here on out they only give one 300 game ring for a lifetime, and they made it where you can only pick from 3 diffrent styles. This was a touch decision but this is the one I choose on the left. I think that they look so much like class rings and they are made for a mans hand. Dont these people know that women have little hands. The other picture on the right is a pic of the womens 300 game ring that they used to have available. What ever happen to keeping these rings for the ladies. Luckly for myself Doug bowled a 300 last year and let me have the ring, I choose the ladies (the one pictured) so I have one. I wear it everyday. Not only does it mean something to me but then I can show my love and support for my husbands awesome bowling.
